Maybe I missed the answer. Same question. Do sieve filters work, if you set
them not in avelsieve?

When you debug some issue, you must try to reduce number of components.
There is no point to check why avelsieve is not working, if your local
delivery agent does not use filters.
1. Check if sieve filters work without avelsieve
2. Get information about dovecot version and sieve server port. If you know
that info, Alexandros can tell you how to check sieve features available in
your setup.
3. Only after success in step 1 and step 2 start debugging avelsieve.
